Barry Badrinath Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Warrington, of course. That being said, it wouldn't surprise me if we see something exceptional in terms of promo and marketing in collaboration with toronto next season. Be nice to have a forward thinking club to work with instead of "we don't want to be a part of this" from certain areas of yorkshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is more connection with Toronto and wolves than Warrington, which chose "wolves" because it begins with a W. But to be fair, Wire did get in there first.

So Warrington's connection with wolves goes back a long way. Before Toronto even existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incorrect...Toronto is an ancient name for the log fishing piles once placed on the mouth of the Don River Delta by the 'Ancient Ones' after the last ice age....wolves were quite common in the area at the time...and not your tame household wolves of England....but the real deal. Therefore our connection to wolves is far stronger, far greater. We still have wild wolves over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have wild wolves over here. mmm our natural history would tell you wolves existed here following the end of the last ice age too... thought to have migrated over via the "land bridge" that connected us to the rest of Europe. anyway wolves have been re-introduced here, so we can say we have wild wolves. All-be-it into a controlled wild area. As a matter of interest / or maybe not - Warrington, is thought to have been originally founded as a settlement at Wilderspool (a crossing point for the River Mersey) by the Romans in AD79. All-be-it reestablished in Anglo-Saxon times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
